Not necessarily. Life in Canada is monetarily not so easy. Tech careers in India are more like America of the 90s. Companies popping up every year, a large bidding ecosystem and yet most population is not even fully super educated.

A tech worker in India can hire someone to come home everyday and cook hot meals while they themselves work on side projects or their startups or maybe even buy a motorcycle and take a trip around the country (barring covid). Such lives are pretty much impossible in Canada, even for a developer.

This comment shows a fundamental lack of understanding of life in India.
I agree with you 100%. QoL in India and Canada aren't even close to being comparable, it's like weighing a cruise liner and a paper boat on the same kitchen scale. It only takes a short visit to Indian news sites to see the true state of things. (Example: https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/oct/27/dalit-yo...)

The other child comments on your comment seem incoherent. I wonder what's up with that.

And how would you come to that conclusion?

By your logic, no place has an understanding of life.

Would you rather not call it "my understanding of life"?

Or was that implied? If so, please expand on that.
